Darlene Obregon, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Darlene!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who works with adults. Using attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and CBT, I help clients uncover the roots of their struggles, heal from past experiences, and develop healthier patterns so they can build more fulfilling lives and relationships.

My focus

I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and improve their relationships. I help clients explore attachment patterns, navigate/heal from breakups, strengthen communication, and break cycles that no longer serve them. I also support those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, co-dependency and difficult life transitions.

My approach

My approach is rooted in attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with elements of CBT. I help clients understand how past experiences shape their emotions, thoughts, and relationships. Together, we identify underlying needs, shift unhelpful patterns, and build more open, effective communication.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and honest. I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing openly. I listen with compassion, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we will work toward a deeper understanding of your emotions, needs, and relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in psychology and how people think, feel, and connect led me to become a therapist. I enjoy helping clients understand how the past influences the present, heal from attachment wounds, and develop healthier relationships. It is an honor to support people through difficult seasons and meaningful change.

My goals for you

I believe you know yourself and what you want to change better than anyone. We will work together to identify meaningful goals for therapy, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools to help you create lasting change in your life and relationships.

Our first session

During our first session, I’ll take time to understand what brings you to therapy and how it has been affecting different areas of your life. We’ll explore your concerns, begin identifying patterns, clarify what you hope to change, and create a plan for moving forward together.
